From the Publisher:Here's a valuable inside look at cutting-edge R&D and emerging high-potential business opportunities in the wireless communications industry. Based on results from the mobility and personal communications networks area of the Advanced Communications and Technology Systems (ACTS) program in Europe, the book takes you into the future of wireless communications and the establishment of universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS). Featuring contributions from industry and academic leaders in Europe, the book examines third generation (3G) topics such as the need for high data rates, spectrum efficiency and bandwidth, as well as issues related to terrestrial air interfaces, satellite air interfaces, satellite network improvements, and the continued development of enabling technologies. A host of UMTS technology projects are discussed in detail, including terrestrial wireless broadband projects such as Magic Wand, MEDIAN, AWACS, and SAMBA; wireless access system projects such as CABSINET and CRABS; satellite UMTS and broadband projects such as SINUS, INSURED, TOMAS, and SECOMS/ABATE; and projects for improving current personal wireless service such as RAINBOW, RAISIN, STORMS, ASPECTS, EXODUS, and FRANS. With links to key wireless communications industry resources, and a look at the objectives and impact of service and applications projects currently underway, this book helps you take full advantage of emergent opportunities in mobile personal communications technologies. Software Included! A CD-ROM contains multimedia presentations of project trials.
